If you are on any dose other than maybe a baby dose (the smallest amount you can take) and for a very short time. You would not be able to go on a benzo holiday at least not without your doctors guidence. If you quit benzos cold turkey you will go into w/d the next day, and run into risk of having a siezure. There are medications that you can take that will counter act the effects of the benzos and the w/d.

I certainly wasn't advocating a benzo-holiday.... I guess I should have made that more clear. I was actually just whining a little that it'd be wonderful if we COULD take a benzo holiday occasionally w/o risking life & limb (and sanity!). Right now my tolerance is crazy... crazy enough anyway that I don't feel "good" when I take benzos in any safe amount except that I now call feeling normal as "good", but I sure do feel bad pretty quickly if I skip more than 1 dose. Other than on a few non-planned occasions, i've not been off benzos for more than about a month-straight in over a decade. I've been on at least 10 different benzos over the years so i've seen good and bad from all of them on so many different angles, but when the rubber hits the road so to speak, and you take that final dose after tapering, it still stinks. At least, it always has for me...
